Lessons from PFI and other projects - Public Accounts Committee Contents


Written evidence from Infrastructure, HM Treasury

At the PAC hearing Lessons from PFI and other projects the Committee asked HM Treasury for a note on how many people at the centre are managing PFI projects.

RESPONSE FROM HM TREASURY

At Treasury there are six people in the PPP Policy team. Their role is maintain and develop PPP policy, to coordinate this across other central departments, to collect data about projects that is published on the Treasury website twice yearly and to respond to enquiries about PPP policy. In addition there is around one FTE dealing with derogations from the standard form contract as part of the Treasury's approval process. Staff involved in the assurance and approval of projects work across a broad range of projects and issues, not just PFI, and so it is not possible to identify FTE engaged on PFI.
